from falling off the fiscal cliff? we'll get the worst case scenario when we come back. >>> welcome back. kbw declaring a special $2 a share dividend becoming the latest company in a growing list so far. 174 companies have announced special dividends in november according to s&p. that's a new record. who are some potential issuers on deck? >> goldman sachs back in september put out a note that i think really got this conversation going. the one name they mentioned on there that has not yet done the special dividend is mastercard. doc was talking about it before reaching new levels today. i think mastercard is a name that you could focus on. >> when you own a stock and they announce a special dividend it is great but the problem with chasing them is once the thing goes "x" dividend, typically the price will adjust. it is not necessarily a great short term trade. i'd focus more on consistent dividend paying as opposed to special dividend. >> google's on my list. $50 billion in cash. at least one-third of that onshore. th

so i'm actually not going to talk about the fiscal cliff. i'm really here to talk about why men and women are investing differently, if that's all right. >> okay. so how are they investing differently, alexandra? >> our study is incredibly interesting. it is looking at millionaire men versus millionaire women. so what we found is women are investing more conservativively. so where they put their money for the past 12 months is cds and cash equivalents, individual bonds, and third is individual stocks. men are looking -- so twice as likely to want to get the best return. women are twice as likely to want to have a holistic financial plan. >> what i find really ironic in some of your findings here is that even though, as you just said, women often get the better return -- the men still feel wealthier. why is that? >> exactly. so men -- i mean the interesting thing is we looked at millionaires and men and women who had exactly the same amount of money, 80% of the men felt wealthy, 60% of the women. so i think what we're really finding here is t

>> we need to respond to this fiscal cliff. i can't tell them how they should do it. that's their expertise but they have to figure out the details and we need to resolve this subject and give america confidence that our political leaders can work together and i honestly believe that that will happen. >> reporter: when you reported third quarter results earlier this month you said you didn't have enough clarity on the impact of superstorm sandy. do you have more clarity now? >> i do have clarity on sandy and frankly it's devastating. particularly on individuals. we had 200 of our stores closed for the first three days of the november period and then many more were closed after that because we didn't have power. we definitely were impacted in a major way at our company. >> reporter: for the current quarter you expect to fall short of wall street forecasts by at least five cents. are you still comfortable with those expectations? >> we try to guide honestly and if we're able to exceed that number that's always good news. but we try to guide where we believe we're going
